Native to Asia, bergamot was naturalized in Italy, where it is grown commercially. We don't usually think of bergamot as a citrus, but it is– exuding a spicy citrus scent with high floral notes. It is calming and has anti-inflammatory uses. As aromatherapy, it is good for anxiety, insomnia and depression. It’s even wonderful in the bath, especially those evening baths when you need a little help nodding off.
